The angel as it fell: alcohol ink on photographic paper

This surreal alcohol ink artwork is in the form of a falling angel; however, its ambiguity invites viewers to delve into their personal interpretations of the symbolism.

One potential interpretation involves the notion of falling short of personal ideals or experiencing a sense of failure.

The angelic figure, descending, may represent an individual grappling with the weight of unmet aspirations, personal shortcomings, or the challenges of navigating the world.

Another interpretation could revolve around the presence of evil or the struggle with darker forces. The visual cues in the artwork may suggest a descent into the unknown or a confrontation with internal or external malevolence.

The psychology behind the artwork encourages viewers to reflect on their own experiences and perspectives. Ultimately, the fall of the angel serves as a symbolic and open-ended exploration of themes related to personal struggle, the complexities of human existence, and the potential for redemption or transformation.

Lens based / conceptual photographic art project using alcohol inks and post processing to 'sculpt' abstract, psychological imagery.
